sword sentient beings

On the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, it snowed heavily.Wuxian Town is completely white, the streets in the early morning have not been trampled by horses and horses, and the snowy roads are like jade belts.

When Yu Sichen opened the door, the thin snowflakes were still flying, and the thin snow particles hit the face with a chill, and the north wind blew the temples and clothes together.

"It's also Ruixue, is today's itinerary a good sign?"

At this time, the door of the upper room opened, and a young man came out with an umbrella.

In the wind and snow, I saw him tall and tall, with an elegant posture, wearing a long beige coat and a black cloak, and the oil-paper umbrella was painted with black and white ink mist and rain. The wind and snow blew on the umbrella and covered the ink painting. A star and a half fell on his shoulders.

In a daze, Yu Sichen seemed to see Mr. Pianpian walking out of the Chinese painting, or a legendary exile.

It wasn't until the umbrella was raised slightly, revealing a plain face with a slightly sick smile on his face, that the faint poetic and painting atmosphere was washed away.

"Oh? No umbrella?" Tang Zhao greeted.

Yu Sichen choked for a moment, and wanted to ask, "Why should I bring an umbrella?"

A little snow, almost stopped, and it's not a knife, you are a young man who is about 20 years old and has outstanding martial arts, what kind of umbrella does a girl learning to swim in the lake hold?Or an ink painting paper umbrella?
But he still remembered Tang Zhao's strength, so he could only swallow these words.

Tang Zhao said again: "I still have an umbrella in my room, go and get it."

Yu Sichen smiled dryly, "No need."

Tang Zhao said thoughtfully, "You want to hold an umbrella with me, okay, let's go."

Yu Sichen had goosebumps, and hurriedly said, "I don't..."

Tang Zhao stared and said, "Come here!"

His staring is no different from the gangsters who collect protection fees on the street when they stare at small businessmen. If there are gangsters who stare at Yu Sichen like this, Yu Sichen is not afraid at all. With such a stare, Yu Sichen's back stiffened, and he actually walked over.

Tang Zhao nodded in satisfaction, tilted the umbrella a little, and it really covered him.The umbrella is not small, it can basically cover the top of their heads, but both of them are not short, so it is still very awkward to hold a small umbrella.

But Tang Zhao didn't feel awkward, took Yu Sichen out, and didn't meet the Black Widow and the others, walked out of the town along the street, and went straight to the agreed meeting place outside the town.

Along the way, Yu Sichen lowered his head, always feeling that someone was watching him on the road, which saved him the time of having an awkward chat with Tang Zhao.

Tang Zhao suddenly asked, "What is the best food in Wuxian Town?"

Yu Sichen didn't react, and said, "Huh? I don't know."

Tang Zhaodao: "Really? Didn't you go out to eat every day these days? So it's not for eating, but for shopping? I thought it was eating."

Yu Sichen was at a loss for words for a while, and then Tang Zhao continued: "If you want to talk about shopping, I don't think you bought anything? You don't buy anything? Don't you like it?"

Yu Sichen said: "It's not..."

Tang Zhao said, "Could it be that you have no money?"

Yu Sichen was stunned for a moment, then Tang Zhao continued: "You don't have the money to tell me, isn't it too far-fetched? I do have it here, and I'll lend you a long time ago. You don't have to pay back ten taels or eight taels. You wander around in white waste shoes every day."

Yu Sichen gradually began to sweat, he didn't think that Tang Zhao was chatting with him about family affairs, it was clear that the other party noticed that he had been leaving early and returning late these days, and his whereabouts were suspicious, so he was already suspicious, so he asked him here.And this person's style is that his thinking is weird, so he speaks very sparingly.

In fact, Yu Sichen, as a kid from the rivers and lakes, doesn't know how to practice Tai Chi, and dealing with outsiders' words is a basic skill, but it depends on who said it.In the face of the perception of strength, all skills will fail.Even in the past few days, he still remembers Tang Zhao's lightly pinching Yue Lai's sword with one finger during Gu Dou, the pressure was like a rabbit and a sheep squatting in front of a tiger and wolf, let alone coping well, just breathing a little louder It is also easy to be swallowed in one gulp.

He just followed Tang Zhao in such a vague and faltering way, because he was so embarrassed that he even forgot the embarrassment.What he hopes most is to hurry to the meeting point, so that this person who doesn't know whether he is deep-minded or mentally ill stays away from him.

Fortunately, Tang Zhao didn't force him too much, and his walking speed wasn't too slow. After chatting, he had already left the town. From a distance, he saw a big tree and a half-cut pavilion under the mountain. That was the meeting point.

Yu Sichen breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to rush over when he suddenly saw a person turning the corner of the street with a serious expression, it was Yue Lai.

Yu Sichen froze, Yue Lai was obviously waiting for them here, there must be a story, and he thought in his mind: Why did another trouble come after one trouble did not go away?
He was about to speak when Tang Zhao said first, "Hey, you didn't open an umbrella?"

Yu Sichen's embarrassment increased tenfold. He was afraid that Tang Zhao would have three people under the same umbrella. He didn't dare to think about the scene, and without fear, he interrupted and said, "What are you doing here?"

Yue Lai tilted his head slightly, and said, "Be careful. There are swordsmen."

Tang Zhao's eyes moved slightly, Yu Sichen's hairs blew up, and he said, "Swordsman, where is the swordsman?"

Yue Lai moved his lips slightly, and said, "He found it."

Yu Sichen suddenly turned his head and looked into the gazebo, but he couldn't see anyone.

He was about to ask Yue Lai again, but Yue Lai had already turned around and walked away quickly, apparently going straight to the meeting.

Tang Zhao and the others naturally stopped for a while, leaving a time difference for both parties.

Hearing the news of the swordsman again for no reason, Yu Sichen was a little disturbed - he was only a member of the martial arts, and the power of a swordsman was far away from him, so he could only be intimidated.Moreover, the sudden appearance of the swordsman will add unpredictable variables to this trip, and the unknown will bring fear.

"Hey," Tang Zhao called him at this time, "Mr. Meng is looking for a swordsman. Do you know about this?"

Yu Sichen said, "How do I know?"

Tang Zhao suddenly said, "It's been a waste of shopping these days."

Yu Sichen pursed his lips and remained silent.

After waiting for a while, the two set off again and came straight to the gazebo.

Under the big tree, everyone has arrived.

Black Widow, Xu Siyao, and Yue Lai stood on one side, and Meng Huazhou stood in the middle, but also under the steps of the gazebo.

In the gazebo, there was only one person.

He was a man in his forties, and he didn't necessarily look old from his appearance. It seemed that he could be 30 or 81 years old, but from his hair, his silver hair was half black and half white, but he seemed to be [-] years old. His long hair was not combed up, and it was just loose, which seemed very unrefined.

He stared into the distance, frowning tightly, as if he was worried.

A swordsman's appearance can be various, some are young, some are old, some are vigorous, some are sluggish, and some look like a shameless alcoholic.

But when Tang Zhao saw this man, his heart moved. There was indeed a feeling in this man that no other swordsman had.

That is twilight.

A kind of decadent air that loses vitality in old age.

Tang Zhao seldom sees this kind of twilight in swordsmen, oh, it's not that he hasn't seen it at all, he has seen it a few days ago, it is Meng Tiansheng, the owner of Jingzhe Mountain Villa, he is really in his dying years, although he is strong Qi is also dull.

But when a swordsman reaches such a point, his time is really approaching, and he should make funeral arrangements at home instead of exposing his own weaknesses and giving others an opportunity to take advantage of them.

Tang Zhao had never seen such a gloomy swordsman who came out to meet people, even the white-haired Marquis Gao Yuan and Ping Jiangqiu who was stuffed in a jar.

He thought to himself: Is this the helper Meng Huazhou found?

When I first met the old man who sang the song before, Meng Huazhou didn't seem to have any intention of asking for a swordsman as a helper at first.But I don't know if he communicated with Tang Zhao. Although he was rejected, he was enlightened. Somehow he found another swordsman to help him, maybe replacing Tang Zhao's role.

As for the swordsman looking older, this is normal.Meng Huazhou is not a swordsman, so how could he possibly associate with the swordsman at that time?He didn't have anything to do with his father, and this swordsman didn't know how he got here, or what the other party had in mind, so of course he would have some weaknesses.

Tang Zhao guessed and guarded at the same time.

In any case, there was one more swordsman on this trip, and the situation suddenly became complicated.

Although the man looks decayed, that's no reason to underestimate him.A swordsman is a swordsman, the body of the swordsman will decay, but the sword will not, the sword will remain intact until the swordsman dies.

Meng Tiansheng was about to die, and Tang Zhao wanted to suppress him with all his strength, not giving him a chance, not to mention that this person didn't know where he came from, what the sword's intentions were, and what methods he had, so how could he take it lightly?He also wanted to help the Black Widow get the sword during this trip, and at the very least, he had to ensure her safety.

Fortunately, he didn't know the opponent's background, and the opponent didn't know him, or even knew that he was a swordsman. In terms of lurking, he was deeper.

Seeing Tang Zhao's arrival, the Black Widow breathed a sigh of relief. She was under a lot of pressure facing the strange swordsman just now. Only when Tang Zhao arrived did she have the backbone.

Seeing Tang Zhao and the others arrived, Meng Huazhou nodded slightly, and said to the swordsman with disheveled hair: "Swordsman Shangguan, everyone is here, you..."

That Shangguan swordsman closed his eyes halfway, and said: "Don't worry about me, tell your story."

Meng Huazhou bowed and said: "Yes." Turning around, he said: "You guys, you have also seen that Shangguan Swordsman is walking with us. No, I dare not say that we are walking together, but we are honored to lead the way for Shangguan Swordsman and board together. Fairy City."

Everyone bowed and saluted, Shangguan swordsman waved his hand, his posture was quite normal, but he didn't take it seriously.

Meng Huazhou did not further introduce the origin of Shangguan Swordsman, and others do not need to know.Said: "Our destination is Xishan Peak in Xishan County. When you reach the Xishan Peak, you must climb the mountain at midnight on New Year's Eve and be guided in a special way, so that you can see the fairy city. You are not allowed to act without authorization when you reach the top of the mountain. You have to listen to my command, if anyone doesn't listen, not only will he not be able to see the Immortal City, but he will also end up in a tragic end."

Tang Zhao glanced at Shangguan Swordsman and thought: Who are you talking about?Just for us to hear?How does it feel to knock the mountain and shake the tiger?
Meng Huazhou said a few more precautions, and Fang said: "Let's go now."
